Lensless Miniature Contact Imaging System for Monitoring Calcium Changes in Live Neurons

Our device (presented in IEEE Photonics Journal, Feb. 2014) consists of a removable absorption filter interfaced with a CMOS imaging sensor.  The system is capable of detecting intracellular calcium changes in Fura-2 loaded neurons. The dimensions of our system are substantially smaller than of the industrial competitors.

Chlorophyl and CDOM Detection

The system (presented on IEEE Photonics Journal, June 2014) is designed to measure chlorophyll and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) concentration in aquatic environment. The system utilizes light emitting diodes (LEDs) for fluorescence excitation and absorption filters for excitation light attenuation. The dimensions of our system are substantially smaller than of the industrial competitors.
